Oops, I forgot to add THE reason for considering Boost on Windows. That tool alone is worth getting Boost. I am talking about ASIO. I still find hard to believe that I am the proud authors of clients and servers (at the native code level, that is). Such skill had eluded me for years and had to use 3rd. party (such as Oracle's) stuff written by others.
My current main need is to port a client that already runs on Linux to the Windows side. Both client and server runs flawlessly (thunderous hoorays to the ASIO authors!) on the Linux side.
Asio is header only, so the minimum setup required is Download a Boost distribution Unzip it Set the include paths for the compiler Go.
My initial perception of the Windows port is less than overwhelming.
Maybe I should try some precompiled Windows distro.
The BoostPro installer includes precompiled binaries. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
